Murray The Cop

Began in 1987 as a side project from Legoland and has continued strongly to this very day. Have taken time away from Murray the Cop for my other projects (The Skipping Class, Drug, Linus, Loaded
For Bear, Legoland, etc...) but most of these developed out of Murray the Cop songs and each band performed Murray the Cop songs live.
